Art is only art if enough the peer group of artists, curators, and buyers agree that it is. They also conspire to determine its worth.

Is his collection of sufficient value to merit...

Smaller is not necessarily better. There's a comfortable sweet spot currently occupied by the K5 and similar high end APS-C cameras: Big enough to be comfortable to hold, balance an f/2.8 zoom, and...

Yesterday I saw a gentleman on the train with a dSLR around his neck. I say "gentleman" because he was wearing a suit even though it was Sunday. The dSLR was a smallish, serious looking Canon with...

Yes.

Personally I would have rather it was a bad lens than a bad camera, but at least its closure. K10D is 2006 vintage. And famously the shutter mechanism is /loud/. It wouldn't surprise me to see a...

31 /= 35

That's LV 4~5.

Have you tried bringing bigger candles?

The 301.4 EX DC is replaced with the 30/1.4 DC.Which is olly enough only available in Sigma, Canon and Nikon mount. (http://www.sigma-photo.co.jp/lens/standard/30_14_A013/#/specification)

Really...

The 30/1.4 EX DC is replaced with the 30/1.4 DC. Which is oddly enough only available in Sigma, Canon and Nikon mount....

I "make do" with a Nikon AF 85/1.8D. I made that call. I'd never think to accuse Sigma like that though...

K-30 for the glass pentaprism used for the viewfinder.

But I'd just as soon buy a used K-5/D7000.

The V1 flash powered off the camera, and featured pan-and-tilt axis adjustment of the head. It was a bit inconvenient, but was absolutely the opposite of silly.

"Very happy! And when the 32mm f1.2 goes on sale, guess what? I'll snap one up!"

If you do, Nikon wins. But seriously, I think there is a strange kind of method to the madness: introduce item at...

The Aptina 1" is no worse than the Sony 1" in any metric worth a damn.

Nine hundred.

1 Ricoh GR, or
1 Nikon D7000 body + 40mm F2.8 micro AFS, or
1 Canon 7D body

or, my favorite, at current used prices: seven and a half Nikon 1 J1 bodies!!

"A Pentax Q by virtue of its small sensor (5:1 crop) shows much more detail than normal large sensored mirrorless and DSLR's"

I have no idea what you are trying to say, but I'm quite certain you...

That's exactly why this lens is f/1.2 and $900, sadly: if you want something cheaper, you can already just grab the F-mount adapter and your nearest 35mm. So Nikon had to push far beyond that.

Pentax makes a camera in standard black and charges extra for silver.

Fuji makes a camera in standard silver and charges extra for black.

"photojournalists who use the Leica M"

Such a creature exists?

Arguably, the JC Penny CEO was only an idiot for failing to realizing the stupidity of the store's customers: that they would not by a shirt for $25 unless it was marked up to $50 and then...
